In the time of Covid, people have started to covet bizarre things like toilet paper and bicycles. Because people are being forced to stay inside and avoid places where people gather, like restaurants or gyms, people turn to ride bikes to give them a sense of freedom. Even though fewer cars are on the road, an increase in biking could cause an increase in accidents. Our San Francisco Bicycle Accident Attorneys at Allegiance Law are here to help you get back on your proverbial feet.
Traffic fatalities that include cyclists have increased over the past few years, according to data found on sfgov.org. Fatality typically means that a person has died due to injuries related to the accident. This does not count people who have survived their injuries or the pain they sustain from injuries related to the bicycle accident.
It is legal to choose not to wear a helmet while cycling at the age of 18. Even though California is deliberating writing legislation about helmet use on scooters, cycling helmet regulations are predominantly for those under 18. If you are over the age of 18, riding your bike without a helmet, your injuries could look like:
The commonality between these injuries is that they take time away from the victim from living their everyday lives. Getting into an accident is never the intention when you start peddling your bike.
